RLS and propranolol and DA withdrawal

Does anyone have any info on using propranolol during DA withdrawal? I’ve been using Percocet every few days but do worry about the addictive nature of it. Has anyone tried propranolol?

That's for high blood pressure. It's safe for RLS but won't help RLS nor help DA withdrawal

Thank you! It’s often prescribed also for anxiety, so I wondered if anyone had any experience with it.

Propranolol can be prescribed for hypertension, anxiety, tremor etc. There are various previous posts on the forum such as: healthunlocked.com/rlsuk/po...

Hi. After seeing a couple of posts on this forum about people finding an improvement with Propranolol, I asked my doctor to prescribe it for my very bad RLS. I took it for about 10 days but didn't notice any difference and stopped taking it.

Low dose buprenorphine was a life changer for me while weaning off DAs, although it was still hellish at the finish and after.

Not what you're looking for?
